Feature on violent robberies and executions across London
The report details a string of crimes including a highwayman clamping a pistol to a victim’s chest and robbing him, a rescue pursuit by Sir John Fielding, and multiple footpad robberies in the Edgeware Road. It notes arrests and commitments, with several suspects to be tried in Worcester and Newgate Bridewell, alongside notices of public appointments and deaths of notable persons in a dense 18th century crime and society column.
